After a year of talking about the craft of comedy each week on the show, Tom is trying his hand at stand up.

He's just completed week three of the course. But how is it going for him? Tune in tonight to find out.

For five weeks Tom's joining a class of budding comedians guided by Sharon Mannion.  

The Gaiety School say the aim of the class is to learn how to be relaxed on stage, foster audience rapport and how to present yourself effectively.  The course will end with Tom performing a stand up routine at a comedy club.

You can hear how Tom's getting on every Wednesday evening.

Listen to the reports so far below.
